What does a documentation scan check?
A scan checks one configured public documentation page and up to eight saved direct links. It does not recursively follow links from those destinations.

clearly explained.
A clear guide to scan coverage, saved evidence, review decisions, and optional weekly runs.
Frequently asked questions
What evidence is saved with a finding?
Findings retain their source URLs and excerpts so you can review where an observation came from. A finding may remain unverified when a destination could not be read; an unreadable destination by itself is not treated as a confirmed issue.
Does a scan change my documentation?
No. A scan records observations for review. It does not change documentation automatically.
How do editable fix drafts work?
When the saved evidence supports it, Errata Finch can prepare an editable draft for a version correction using the source excerpt and saved version context. The draft is limited to that correction, requires human review, and does not change documentation automatically.
What do finding review outcomes mean?
A finding can be recorded as Addressed or Not actionable. These are reported review decisions saved with the finding; they do not independently verify that documentation changed.
How is draft approval different from finding review?
A draft can be approved or rejected separately from its finding. That decision applies to the saved draft; it does not confirm a documentation change or change the finding’s review outcome.
Are weekly scans required?
No. Weekly scans are optional. When enabled, the private weekly status page in your workspace shows saved runs and review items, including failed runs. It is a workspace view, not a public uptime service.
Is my workspace shared with a team?
Your workspace and saved scan information are tied to your account. The current workspace is private and does not provide shared team access.
